And we’re back!
There’s been a flurry of activity behind the sabbatical at Preparedness Pro so that I could move it forward to what I really, really wanted it to be. And today I’m going to share with you the results thereof because chances are, if you’re reading this, then that activity will indeed impact you, and very soon too, I suspect.
Over the past several months I’ve been putting a major undertaking into play. I’ve sorted through 15 years of belongings, including massive amounts of...

So tonight I was literally locked IN my hotel room. I couldn't get out for anything!! The steel door handle wouldn't turn far enough for me to unlock the door. After attempting to open the door for several minutes and ruining a good pair of shoes in a desperate attempt to kick the handle downward, I decided to call the front desk. To be honest, I was worried that I wasn't able to open the door because of my wussy muscles, or at least a poor grip. So when I called the front desk and the...

Question:
"Kellene, how do I know which manual grain mill to buy? I'm so confused?!"
Answer:
There are THREE key considerations to choosing a grain mill that you'll be operating manually. I'll provide you with these three highlights and let you choose for yourself from there, but I'll also share with you what I've chosen as a result.
Three Considerations for Choosing a Hand-Operated Grain Mill
1) Energy Expenditure: You want one that will require the least amount of physical energy per...

In part 1 of this series about strengthening the bonds of your family and friends and your community through fun activities, I shared one game with you along with laying out a case for being mindful of such preparations. Today I’m going to share two other activities with you that I’m SURE you’re going to love.
This first game/activity didn’t actually come from my mom, rather I learned it in the Philippines when I served there on a welfare mission and I confess, I LOVED playing it. I them...

Today’s article isn’t about the all-natural cure for battling the Ebola virus. Nor is it about the 12 essential food items you can make from powdered milk. It’s quite a bit off the beaten path of the traditional “prepper journey”. However, it is still very much about being self-sufficient and it is about securing an asset that you MUST have if you’re to be truly prepared for troubled times ahead. It’s purchased with very little funds in the traditional sense and yet once you’ve acquired it, it...

Is raising quail a realistic livestock project for you?
So, you want to live more self-sufficiently but your city ordinances won’t allow chickens or big gardens? You live in an apartment which limits your “self-sufficiency square footage,” or is limited to your balcony. These conditions are deal killers. They just need a little more knowledge thrown at them in order to overcome them. Let’s go to work then today as I share with you a way to raise some of your own self-sufficiency in the...

Preparedness is not about being a hermit, or a Rambo-like survivalist. And there might not be much time left for you to get one of your most critical assets in place--Your Community.
There’s a component of preparedness that I fear most preppers omit, either because they don’t understand the value or they refuse to understand the value. And that’s the COMMUNITY.
While the headlines have been full of plenty of reasons to remain somewhat private about the extent of one’s preparedness...

Awesome Projects for Preppers--by Guest Contributor Matt Stevens
While there are a lot of people whose prepping starts and stops with stockpiling supplies, there are many others who make it a lifestyle. These people ultimately end up much better prepared, because they look beyond just having food and water and make or buy things to take care of any eventuality. With the high cost of buying prepping equipment and supplies, more and more have taken to making their own.
In pretty much all of...

Meatball Soup Recipe -- By Kellene Bishop
One thing I love about my good friend Shawna is that she has a lot of good recipes that are easy, delicious and can easily be adapted to be made from your preparedness food pantry. She has shared quite a few with me over the years that I love, so keep an eye out for some more her recipes in the near future.
With Fall quickly approaching (officially September 23rd) I thought I would share one her easy soup recipes with you, which I actually enjoy...

One of the fundamentals for being prepared for all that life throws at us is having what we really need, when we really need it--and having a back-up. I accomplish a lifestyle of Panic Free Preparedness by living by the Rule of Three.
The Rule of 3, is the ultimate expression of one “preparing for the worst”. As I learned it, the Rule of 3 comes from a military training message: “3 is 2, 2 is 1, and 1 is none”, and boy howdy can I attest to that being the truth! What does it mean “1 is none...

The hidden story about vaccines, drugs and food… Three huge topics in one film. Why put all this in one movie? Because these issues are directly related, and we have an opportunity to harness the millions of us engaged in each of them to overcome the noise put out by the medical-industrial conglomerate. You peel back the layers and see what’s really driving our industrialized food, our vaccine expansion, and our dependence on pharmaceuticals – it’s the same culprit. Huge corporations funded by individual misery, one broken life at a time. These three story lines converge on Wall Street, but this story takes us beyond the problem to the inspiring and empowering role mothers are now taking in uniting to protect their families.
